Sure, what I meant to say was that checkouts of projects that are
remaining in the original repository won't have to be checked out fresh.
I understand that working copies corresponding to projects that are
moved to new repositories will require fresh checkouts regardless, but
in my case, that's a much smaller set of users and so will be less
disruptive.
